What types of tea do you drink

beckiboo · May 13, 2006

I don't like tea too much. I often order raspberry iced tea when I eat out. A friend at work has a nice variety of teas, and I have tried some of them. But I don't know what brand!

I do recommend that, though. If you don't know much about tea, just have someone who does suggest the flavors to you!

We drink lots of Iced tea and Chai is my favorite! Honey likes various ones, like Red Roobis,( I think that's how you spelli it)Oolong, We both like green teas, He likes Liquorice, and Assam. I like peppermint, minty teas. I am very experimental.
Tea is one of my favvorite summer time drinks. I enjoy a warm glass now and again in the winter.

I love Honey Ginsing Green Tea (Republic of Tea brand)

I add a little milk to it and rip open the tea bag so the leaves are floating around and then I drink it all, leaves included!

Lemon Honey Green Tea With Ginseng, Chai tea, and Plain green tea are in my cupboard at the moment. I plan to add more soon though. I like variety.

I enjoy all the varieties of loose tea sold at Teavana, but my favorite is a custom blend of white, red, and green teas called 'To Life'.

Have: plain ginger tea, jasmine blossom green tea, plain orange pekoe, vanilla almond, darjeeling, irish breakfast,Chai black and green tea, chai spice black tea, orange spice decaf, Peets Phoenix Mountain Oolong, Assam Extra Fancy, Darjeeling Extra Fancy Kalimpong, Lion Mountain Keemun, Yin Hao Jasmine, Pride of the Port (the Peets was sampler of loose teas).

I'm slowly but surely really getting into tea...plain tea has so much flavor, I've learned to enjoy it w/out sugar or cream.

I love chai tea too, but I only like it chilled over ice. It tastes like a mouthful of autumn, as I like to say, and I LOVE autumn!!!

I've been an oolong fan for years, but have never heard it referred to as "white tea". Our Sunday paper had an article about preparing tea - no wonder I find green tea too bitter. Apparently you should never use boiling water to prepare it, and should dump the first cup poured, and simply reuse the wet tea leaves for the cup you drink.

katiemae1277 · May 14, 2006

I like Earl Grey, Chai, Oolong and just plain old black tea too

I drink it straight up too- no sugar, cream, lemon, nothing!

lisalee · May 14, 2006

I have one cup of plain Green Tea almost every morning. I enjoy iced tea too. But nothing compares to my coffee!

cyber cat · May 15, 2006

I drink Tetley Tea, lots of milk and no sugar. I think I drink about 5 cups a day.

I am hooked on Teavana. My fiance bought me a tea press for Valentine's Day and now I drink it all the time. My favorite is English Breakfast. Right now I also have Mrs. Earl Grey, and Rooibos Chai. I am not to fond of both of those though.

i don't think oolong is the same as white tea. oolong is partially fermented, rather than fully, like black tea, or not at all, like green tea. here's what i found about white tea: [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The difference between white tea and green, oolong or black tea is the processing of the picked leaves. [/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The white teas produced today are not steamed, a common misconception, but are withered and then carefully hand selected to be baked dry.[/font]

Aha! Thanks. The Teavana site was misleading, then. It had white and oolong teas listed together. I'll have to ask my favorite tea shop if they have "white tea". I'd really never heard of it, but haven't looked at anything but oolong there for years.

My current favorite flavored tea is Teavana's peach rooibos:

I also have spearmint, spearmint/lemon grass and decaf peach/apricot-flavored black tea from a local teahouse. For iced tea I like plain old Tetley tea bags.
